with my belkin upsd (aka bulldog), i don't remember what i did to recognize that anything was working, but i set the settings to shut down after 15 minutes. when i pulled the power plug out, everybody logged in got a message via write that they had 15 minutes to log out or whatever. then, it did perform a clean shutdown after 15 mintues. after that i went in and configured things a bit more...
it looks like you're there, you just have to figure out exactly which devide got picked up by hid. my guess is /dev/input/js0 (since it mentioned its using a joystick driver). give that try and see what happens. dave On Tue, 3 Feb 2004, Richard Crawford wrote: > Dave Margolis said: > > > somewhere in that belkin software there is a device setting. the > > default is /dev/ttyS0. > > > > maybe look in dmesg to see if it is registering a usb device? > > Here is the line that looks most relevant to me from dmesg: > > hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [BELKIN UPS] on usb1:2.0 > > Looks to me like it's showing up as a USB device. > > Right now I have the Belkin Bulldog sentry software pointing to > /dev/ttyUSB0; at that setting it doesn't, at least, return an error > saying, "Cannot connect to device".
